Safety Pool™ Scenario Database
The global reference scenario database for ADS testing, validation, and certification. Informed by industry
needs, embraced by regulators, and recognized by governments worldwide.
Credit-based access to the largest public store of scenarios for testing automated vehicles is now
live!
For Governments
Inform ADS policies and pave the way towards ADS certification
For industry
Access a set of curated driving scenarios for testing and validation
For Research
Advance scenario based ADS testing and validation methodologies
The Scenario Database
From scenario to test programme
A curated library built from expert knowledge, accident data and naturalistic driving data. Every scenario is described in a two-level Scenario Description Language that both people and tools can read. Powered by WMG, University of Warwick and Deepen AI.

What's new
Built for standards-aligned, scenario-based validation
International Standards
Tags follow ISO 34503 and BSI PAS 1883:2025 for ODDs, and BSI Flex 1891 for the behaviours of road users.
ODD-Based Search
Describe your ODD in ODD language and retrieve the scenarios that match it.
Regulatory Use Cases
Ready-made scenario sets for UN R157 and R157 Rev 01, LSAD, and DCAS low-speed urban and high-speed motorway.
Scenario Downloads
One package per scenario with SDL level 2, ASAM OpenSCENARIO, ASAM OpenDRIVE and BSI Flex 1889 files, plus its visualisation.
Learn more ↗Scenario Ratings
Rate scenarios for criticality and satisfaction, and see the results aggregated on a dashboard.
Scenarios from Studio
Scenarios built in Safety Pool™ Studio are converted to ASAM OpenSCENARIO and OpenDRIVE and added automatically.
About Studio →OpenX Toolkit
Get more out of every OpenSCENARIO and OpenDRIVE file
Score, visualise, enrich and convert scenarios in the browser. Use the toolkit with your own files, or apply the same tools when you download any scenario from the database.
Open the Toolkit- Upload up to 10 .xosc and .xodr files, each up to 2 MB
- Pick a tool and its options, such as traffic density or ODD preset
- Download the result, ready for your simulation tools
Complexity Score
A 0–10 score of how hard a scenario is for an ADS, averaging quantity, deviation and variance. Logical scenarios get a score range.
Learn more ↗Scenario Storyline
A 2D image with time-labelled ghost figures along each actor's path, in full, zoomed-trajectory and busy-area views.
Learn more ↗Enriched OpenDRIVE
Procedurally add road objects to match the intended ODD, using a rural or urban UK preset.
Learn more ↗Background Traffic
Add unscripted road users around the ego vehicle at the density you choose, so each scenario becomes more varied.
Learn more ↗Trajectory-Based Scenarios
The exact position of every actor at every timestep, for execution tools that need trajectory input.
Learn more ↗Convert Driving Side
Switch between right-hand and left-hand traffic and get matching OpenDRIVE, OpenSCENARIO and OpenLABEL files, validated against the ASAM schemas.
Learn more ↗Safety Pool™ API
Connect your toolchain to the database
A secure REST API gives read-only access to your organisation's scenarios and to public libraries. Scenarios come back as ASAM OpenLABEL, with their OpenSCENARIO and OpenDRIVE files.
